When the library is founded by the
Tilden Trust it must be democratic
institution-one for the person. Not
a cloister in which only the bibliOphile
can examine literary treasures and the
scholar can pursue his studies, but a
library for the common people first an
institution where they can read every
evening after their work is done, and
on Sundays too. For years the Boston
Public Library has been open regularly
until 10 o'clock in the evening and on
Sundays. Every resident ,f the city
is not only privileged to take out books,
but they are delivered from the main
library in the city upon request to the
branches in the out laying wards.
New York libraries now are, with one
exception, public only in name, not in
reality. 1t is within the power of the
trust to crafty and educate more
readers than any other library in the
world now has.-N. 7. Star.

taken to tell what Dan Lamont said to
Governor Hill, and what Governor Hill
said to Daniel, at their Hoffman House

ascertain that the most important prop
osition then discussed, was one similar
to that made by the governor of North

An Open Letter.

Inquiries from all portions of the
country, and especially from states
where prohibition exists, induces us to
write this open letter in regard to our
PHOSPHATE LEMON RYE, for inform
alton to the public in general as well as
to the drug trade. We find these in
quiries of two varieties. By parties
who look upon onr manufacture as "a
means by which the prohibition law
might be violated under the disguise OF
a patented medicinal preparation, and
we Judge from the tone of their letters
it would be a welcome factor to them.
Others again, especially druggists, ex-
press as the cause of their timidity to
take hold of our goods, the same reason.
To set both factions at rest, we inform
the public, that our Phosphate Lemon
Rye is one of the best, if not superior,
to any medicinal tonic in the market,
and have the pleasure of having it pro-
nounced as such by the examining
chemist, DR.. Kendell, of Washington,
D. c., under whose observation all
medicinal preparations come, to be
classified. This is verified by its rapid
introduction all over the .. S. and the
endorsement of all physicians, who
have tried it in their practice.
Yours truly,

The enemies of the Interstate Com
MERGE Law assert that certain enter
prises will be ruined if the long and
short haul clause is not rescinded. Two
big mills near Philadelphia have closed,
and the California sugar men, who i'm
port their material free of duty from the
Sandwich Islands-a privilege no other
importers have-Say that they will lose
large part of their trade if the clause
continues in force. All this may be
true. In some cases it undoubtedly is
true, but the object of the bill was to
ruin just such enterprises as can only
live through favoritism. A great cry
of pain will go up, but the knife of
equality must cut some time, and it
may as well do it World.

Postmaster A. G.. Buchanan.

The long suspense of when a post
master would be appointed in this city
to supersede w. S. Hodge, and who
the lucky one would be, is at last ended.
Mr.. A. G. Buchanan was appointed by
President Cleveland yesterday. The
appointment is good one, and will give
universal satisfaction to the patrons of
the Office. Mr.. Buchanan has been a
lifelong democrat, and has done val
liant work for his party. lie is an old
soldier, and is respected by all. He
will make first-class officer. Presi-
dent Cleveland has honored himself,
and made an appointment that will be
credit to the party.
The editor of the REFLECTOR wishes
to thank all those who endorsed him for
the position; you will always be kindly
remembered. A few weeks ago, to
harmonic the party, and owing to ex-
ira duties assumed with the business
of the REFLECTOR, we withdrew our
and endorsed Mr.. Buchanan
for the position. Postmaster Hodge re-
tires from the office with the good wish
es of the REFLECTOR. that he may be
successful in any business that he may
engage in. Mr.. Hodge has made
courteous, efficient and reliable post
master, and chief deputy Adams was
always obliging and kept everything
in the Office in first-class shape. But

undisturbed by designations through

record is unparalleled in the history of
the republic. Two members of the
famous cabinet alone survive One is

other is ex-Judge Campbell, of Phila-

An argument used by the advocates
of high protective tariff is that we
should protect our people from the
effects of the pauper labor of Europe.
If this object were accomplished by a
protective tariff, one good purpose
would be achieved. But what are the
facts? The manufacturers avail them
selves of the highest prices warranted
under the tariff, and then import their
laborers and operatives from Europe,
and instead of finding, as formerly.
American factories, furnaces and
machine shops operated by Americans,
they are worked mainly by imported
laborers and operatives, and those who
were to be protected and receive living
wages are compelled to seek employ
ment in other pursuits. Instead of
our own laborers being protected from
the competition of foreign pauper labor,
Che foreign laborers are imported, and
those who were promised
protection.

while we candidly believe that Mr..
Cleveland will be renominated and
triumphantly elected, we are inclined
to the opinion that he would much
rather return to private life. But as

that man should do what is for the
best interests of the country, there is
no doubt but he will become candi-

text was made by an English divine
before James the First, who. to other
defects of character, added that of
fckleness. 1t will be remembered that
James the First of England, was also
James the Sixth of Scotland, and so
the preacher rebuked the monarch by
giving out his text thus: He that
wavereth is like the wave of the sea,
driven by the wind and tossed. James
